In this photograph, removal of excess fat all around the body now permits appreciation of the curve of this woman's rib cage in the upper abdomen. Also, a previous fold of skin and fat tissue in the back is no longer visible.

The advantages of treating the trunk circumferentially as one unit is most obvious in this photograph, which shows how a woman's waist can be accentuated by performing liposuction on the back at the same time as performing an abdominoplasty.

I feel that most women can benefit from circumferential treatment of the trunk and I encourage appropriate candidates to consider this option if possible.

How a woman's skin is going to respond to the stretching effects of pregnancy is both variable and unpredictable. In this relatively young woman's case, her skin developed a number of stretch marks and didn't shrink down to her new body contour after pregnancy.

AFTER PHOTOGRAPH: This a frontal view of a 21 year old woman who had lipoabdominoplasty, liposuction of the anterior flanks and hernia repair.

A lipoabdominoplasty treats the front of the abdomen and combines liposuction and abdominoplasty in doing so. The remainder of the mid-body or "trunk" can be treated with liposuction as well if there are objectionable fat deposits elsewhere.

This woman's abdomen protrudes for two reasons: first, her abdominal muscuar wall was stretched by her pregnancy just as her skin was stretched; second, she has a hernia. Neither can be corrected with anything other than surgery.

The combination of hernia repair and abdominoplasty results in a more pleasing shape and appearance of her umbilicus or "belly button" after surgery. The tightening of the abdominal wall muscles that is a component of the lipoabdominoplasty results in a flatter, more attractive abdominal contour.
